A picture of myself. In that picture I am facing the camera upfront. I have white skin, a long, wavy, and black hair, and I am wearing big, round glasses. The wall behind me displays a geometrical pattern in the shape of four sided stars, all of them in blue, gray and white colours.

Welcome!

My name is Marcos Mercandeli-Rodrigues. I was born in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil and I am currently living in Brasília, Federal District, Brazil. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics by Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Ufes, 2016 - 2019). During my undergraduate years, I studied graph theory and its applications to telecommunication networks under the supervision of Professor Márcia Helena Moreira Paiva (Ufes). I also hold a Master's Degree in Mathematics by Ufes (Ufes, 2019 - 2022). During my master years, I studied a problem concerning undefinability of matroid properties in monadic second order languages under the supervision of Professor João Paulo Costalonga (Ufes). That work dealt with matroid theory, monadic second order languages, finite model theory, and Thomas Zaslavsky's gain graphs.

Currently, I am a PhD. Candidate in Mathematics at Universidade de Brasília (UnB) working with anti-unification and interactive theorem proving (PVS and Isabelle) under the supervision of Professor Mauricio Ayala-Rincón (supervisor at UnB) and Professor Temur Kutsia (cosupervisor at RISC/JKU). My fields of interest are Mathematical Logic, Theory of Computation, and Interactive Theorem Proving. In this website you will find the basic information regarding my professional journey (publications, talks, projects, and activities). Feel free to contact me if you are interested in the previously stated research fields.

The rule of beta reduction in lambda calculus, but presented using terms in tree form. The term M is represented by a cyan triangle and the term N is represented by a purple triangle. At the left, there is a tree representing an application of lambda x M to N. In the middle there is an arrow with a beta subscript. In the right, there is a tree representing the result of substituting the free occurrences of x in M by N.
